Expensive Economy.

The Legislatures of some of the States do
not have a proper appreciation Of the i'm
portance of a well-organized militia. The
Legislature of this State, for instance, has
not shown the liberality in dealing with the
militia that it ought. The appeals which
the militia organizations have made for as
sistance have not met with generous re
sponse
Missouri is now without an organized
national guard. A few months ago she had
five regiments. Now she hasn't any. All
have disbanded. They asked the Legislature
to give them $50, 900 a year to help meet
their expenses, and it refused The amount
was certainly small enough. 1t would not
begin to meet the actual expenses of the five
regiments.
When the militia bill was first rejected by
the Legislature the regiments indicated what
their course would be. The Governor APP
pealed TO them to wait and see if a recon-
sideratiOn of the bill could not be obtained,
and different result secured. The appeal
was granted, and the Legislature discussed
the whole subject again. A second time the
bill was defeated in the lower branch of the
Legislature-the last time by only three
votes. The regiments decided to serve no
longer State which had so little apprecia-
ton Of their services.
Has not Missouri made mistake, and a
very grave onel 1t has only been few
months since there was great labor riot
within her borders Other disturbances
are not improbable The time may come,
and, that too, very soon when Missouri
merchants and property owners will call
loudly for help to enforce the laws and pro-
tect their business and property. They will
have to hire men to give them the needed
protection They will then wish, perhaps,
that they had instructed their representa-
tives in the Legislature to pursue less
parsimonious policy
The last Congress more than doubled the
appropriation for militia purposes, and the
indications are that the national policy with
regard TO the militia will continue to grow
more liberal The States, therefore, which
refuse to aid their own militia to an extent
sufficient to keep the military organizations
together not only make a serious mistake,
but are guilty of folly for which there is no
excuse whatever The majority of the
Missouri Legislature must be made up of
men of very small calibre. Their economy
may prove to be very expensive.

Grasping the Point.

1t was in a Boston public school, and the
teacher had been reading q story or two, which
the pupils, as a literary exercise, were to retell
in writing, from memory. One of the storie9
was the tale of Robert Bruce and the spider.
and the teacher read it as follows: ''Persever-
ance. 1t is said that King Robert Bruce noticed
spider near his bed try six times unsuccess-
fully to attach his thread to balk, falling down
each time it tried, and said: Now shall this
spider teach me what am to do, for also have
failed six times The spider made a seventh
effort and succeeded. Bruce also succeeded.
and never afterward sustained defeat of any
moment, seeing how foolish he had been to
despair even at repeated failure" And one of
her pupils thereupon proceeded to write her
version of the story, which was as follows:
Perseverance. King Bruce started out to do
some great thing and didn't succeed. So he
tried and he was thrown down every time he
tried to get up and he could not, he tried five
times at last he got up. And spider came
along and jumped around him when he was
down and the spider stood around him all the
time until he got up. The King said TO himself:

Surgeon General Hamilton, of the Marine
Hospital service, does not think that the two
or three cases of yellow fever which have
occurred at Key West within the last few
days need occasion any serious alarm in that
city. If the proper precautions are taken
to get rid of the disease it may not spread
beyond the houses in which it has made its
appearance, but if it is not handled properly
an epidemic may follow.
1t is said that there is no doubt that the
fever poison was brought to Key West re-
Gently from Havana in some bedding. If
this be true it shows how very necessary it
is that the greatest precautions should be
taken to prevent the introduction of the
disease from infected ports. People who
have been exposed to yellow fever or cholera,
and many masters of vessels from infected
ports, will evade the quarantine regulations
if they can. The bringing of little in
fected bedding from Havana may cause the
loss of many lives at Key West and para
lie the business of the city for months
Already there is feeling of great insecurity
there, and many have left the place
1t will be remembered that the cholera,
that is now carrying off the people by hun
dreds in South America, was introduced into
Buenos Ayres by vessel from an infected
Italian port. The Captain of the vessel
knew that he had cholera on his ship, be-
cause he had buried more than thirty of its
victims ON the voyage. He happened to
have n rather important person on board,
who was anxious to land as soon as possible,
and so the fact of the existence of cholera on
the ship was concealed.
The health officers Of the different ports
on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts have a
great responsibility resting upon them, and
if they fail in any respect in the discharge of
their duties their negligence may open the
way for a great calamity. The infected
bedding that was taken to Key West from
Havana was doubtless worth only a few
dollars, and yet it has already caused dam
age to that town of many thousands of dol
lars.
